Workflow enhancements, such as the ability to share attributes and information between projects using a feature called layout spaces;

Synchronized content for sharing text between layouts within a QuarkXPress project;

Easier to use tables, including the ability to control the flow of content by linking tables or text cells;

PDF creation technology without the need for third-party software;

Support for DeviceN color space for outputting blends, multi-inks, colorized TIFF images and other items as composite color while retaining spot color information for in-RIP separations;

Other exhibitors and presenters at the conference will include Adobe, Apple, HP, Wacom, Corel and Pantone, among others. Exposition passes to the show are free. FOr more information, visit http://www.macdesignconference.com.
